Jonny Lang: Listen to the Premiere of His New Album ‘Fight for My Soul’

Jonny Lang still has the blues. The singer and guitarist who released his first album when he was just 14, returns next week with his sixth studio release, “Fight for My Soul,” which premieres today on Speakeasy.

Now 32, Lang has done plenty of growing up since his precocious teenage years, and it shows in the 11 songs on “Fight for My Soul.” Lang has said the album reflects “what I’ve experienced through music and life in general.” The guitarist, who has collaborated with music heavyweights including Eric Clapton, Willie Nelson, Herbie Hancock, Buddy Guy and even the Jonas Brothers, spent three years working on “Fight for My Soul” with producer Tommy Sims.

“‘Fight For My Soul is an album that is truly a realized vision of what we aimed to create in the studio,” Lang told Speakeasy. “The songs evolved over the last several years, and I am really happy with sound, the performances and the repertoire overall. Inevitably, between active touring and having a family, it took longer than planned to deliver the album. As it reaches the ears of my long-time fans, and new ones who discover this album, I am really proud of ‘Fight For My Soul.’”

Concord Music Group releases the album for purchase on Sept. 17 through digital retailers and physical outlets. What do you think of “Fight for My Soul?” Leave your thoughts in the comments.
